DISASSEMBLED: Apple's iPad Tablet

[drowned]

Summary: you're paying for the name and OS (more like Operating Environment), not the hardware.

lol now they will sell it for parts at apples mark up... lol 500 ipad costs 800!

Ifixit says it has 512Mb RAM. That plus the 1GHz Cortex A8 based processor means phones like the HTC HD2, Evo 4G, or Google Nexus One would offer similar performance. It truly is just a large smartphone minus calling capabilities and a camera.

[citation][nom]hakesterman[/nom]It took 13 chineese ladies 3 day's to build that and you tore it apart in 41 minutes, what the hell is the matter with you????????[/citation]
What you mean with 3 days? A regular chinese can mount it in 3 seconds. With one hand.

 

[rebturtle]

I wonder how much they can sell that battery for...

 

[razercultmember1]

But can it run Avatar?

 

[hemelskonijn]

Nice, Though i was hoping on some more info on the parts.
I am really interested in what apple calls the A4 i wonder what is in it .

 

[Abrahm]

Apple should run an article called "DISASSEMBLED: A Fool's Wallet"

My netbook was $349..., what is the ipad worth? less than an Apple and maybe 1/3 the MSRP of the 32gb Iphone

When computer monitors went from 1024x768 to 1600x1200, it was a good thing. It wasn't "Revolutionary" or "Magical". it was just BIGGER.

[citation][nom]mlopinto2k1[/nom]Anyway, there isn't much to it. Can't justify spending so much for a bigger touchscreen. I really don't know how much it should be. I payed $299 for my 32GB iTouch so maybe the price is relative. Would be kind of cool to have a big screen like that with a "CONTRACTLESS" 3G payment plan. 30 bucks a month for unlimited 3G doesn't sound bad to me![/citation]

An "iTouch" does not exist.

Not very many parts.

Is it legal to carry it on an Airplane?

 

[Milleman]

Is that all you get?

 

[Godfail]

[citation][nom]SAAIELLO[/nom]This is hilarious its a dam I phone with a bigger screen what a load of crap I can not see this being worth 599 and then have to get an expensive monthly plan for it to work what a load of crap. Apple is pure evil[/citation]

iPhone 3GS costs $699 before contract, FYI. And what expensive monthly plan are you referring to? Ignorance is pure evil.

[citation][nom]amk09[/nom]An "iTouch" does not exist.[/citation]Oh, sorry sir. My iPod Touch.

 

[mavroxur]

So basically, it's the guts of an iPod touch, but plugged into a much larger LCD screen? Wow, innovative >_>

 

[grieve]

but does it suck dick?

Oh wait... It does!

The iPAD is like a lunch box, you fill it at home and carry it with you, because you don't want to lug around the whole kitchen.
